Guitarchic Dot Net* My Life, One Strum at a TimeI’m Officially a Mac Convert
Author: riz | Filed under: Defining Moments, Gadgets & Technology, Kodak Moments Wednesday Oct 3,2007I know, I know. I recently enumerated five reasons why I’m not buying a MacBook. But that’s actually a prequel to a list of reasons why I’m buying one.
It’s difficult for me to adapt with change, and I’m usually scared to try out new things too — must be why I’ve had the same hairdo for years, and I’ve never owned a mobile phone that is NOT Nokia.
Well, it’s about time for me. ;)
I literally had my name on it.
Unboxing your very own MacBook is the sweetest thing.
(Er, okay, next to unboxing an Island Rose package, that is. :heart:)
Even the suspense is sweetness. Yay.
Teh Mac and Teh Chucks.
MINE, MINE, MINE. :)
Get that? Over my kung-fu tight grip, raawr!
This means I’m gona have to say buhbye to Ice (my Acer Travelmate) *sniff*, time really does fly. But LOL, I’m not about to get depressed and mushy over it, okay. Besides, I know she’ll be in good hands. :)
I’m not sure if it’s good that it came the week before SEMCON 2007. I’m still getting used to the Apple key, and the CTRL non-functions (whatev), and now I have to cram for my talk and try to get myself acquainted with Mac at the same time. Gah. Oh well. I guess now is not the time to question timelines. :)
P.S. She doesn’t have a name yet. Leme think about that for now.
Congratulations!
So why did you decide to make the switch?
I shall blog about it soon. hehe.
Wow! Congrats! Welcome to the club. :-)
Gah. I couldnt wait for the new OS anymore. heh.
Congratulations on your MacBook! I hope I could switch to Mac soooooooon. Hayz… Just recently kasi Mom bought an Acer Aspire.
Acer is good too. My first laptop is acer and it really worked great for me. :)
welcome to the club of cool mac users. I am thinking of buying the black macbook and give my white to lauren. I don’t name my macbook. I just call it “macbook”
WOW I’M COOL NOW, EH? HEHE.
Haha. I wish I could be cool with a Mac soon too. :P Haha! But I’d be cool with Ice, and i’ll give it a new name…HOTNESS! Can’t wait!^_^ bwahaha. Hey, ganda ng last pic ah. :P see yah!
I kinda like the name “ICE”. Say, rename the old Ice, and I name this mac “ICE”. LOL.
Astig, congrats! =)
But why now? Apple’s gonna come out with Leopard in a few weeks and there’s a pending update to the Santa Rosa platform for the MacBook. Anyway, it’s still as pretty as it is now. =)
You got it locally?
Haynaku, I heard about Leopard but I couldn’t wait anymore! Hehe. Yup, I got it from a supplier in Makati, SENCO, I’m not sure if you heard about them. I think I got a good deal. :)
Why do I suddenly kind of hate you?
Thanks, Ade. :)
It took me a while to switch from my Nokia phones too. That’s until one of them died on me, and I finally broke down and got a decent phone, the Samsung Blackjack.
I’ve always wanted a Mac because they look cool, but it’s hard for me to make changes too. I haven’t even branched out beyond the Gateway yet. Baby steps…
huwaw, congrats! goodluck sa new shortcuts & non-ctrl functions kakaloka yan…
Mejo nasasanay na hahah
Riz, astig! Even with all those “reasons”, I also think it’s great that you finally switched to Mac.
Mac = kewlness
Hehe! Masasanay ka rin in no time. ;)
Hahah oo wala akong choice kundi sanayin ang sarili ko hehe. Wah SEMCON!!
hello! i love ur blog. anyway, i also wanted a macbook before, with all the raves about it on the net. but bought a pink vaio instead. hehe. pink eh ^-^
congratulations on your new macbook! if you need the device drivers for your globe visibility account, i have them :)
I already have the drivers. Theyre readily available online.
Nice Apple pr0n. Welcome to the fold.
This post kinda makes me want to want one too. Haha okay I know I’m supposed to be a PC person but a girl can change her mind, right? Wahahaha.
This came with the software you need na ano? May extra cost ba yung software?
I can refer you to the supplier I got it from. They supplied all the macbooks here in the office. This group, SENCO, install all the softwares you want (free of charge) initially. So I had them install Dreamweaver, Photoshop, MS Office, and Premiere na. Plus they installed extra softwares like Aperture (pang photography ;)) coz they thought I was a photographer. Haha. But yeah, Jayvee’s right. All MACs come with iLife (iTunes, Garageband, iMovie, etc.) Really KEWL. Game na. ;)
Ooooh. Haha okay one more question. Pwede bang card payment sa supplier mo? :D Wahehe.
Naku. That I’m not sure of. I paid in cheque, tas they delivered. I’m not sure if pedeng kaw mismo pumunta sa office nila and pay through cc. :)
Halaaa. Looks like i’m witnessing another Mac convert whahaha :)
hi miss riz, just wanted to know how much was your macbook?
I’m planning to get the white one because the blackbook is too expensive and they have both the same specs but the only difference is the Hard disk capacity.
May discount ba sa SENCO kpag student? hehe! :)
excuse me miss riz, how much did you get your macbook? can you tell the specs?
Im planning to get one kc. I’ll go for the white one. Kc ung black too expensive and come to think of it, it has the same specs but the only difference is the Hard disk capacity. Bibili na lng ako ng crystal case na black.
hehe, may discount ba clang binibigay sa mga students?
Hey. I’m not sure if they’re giving away discounts. I got mine pretty cheap. About 62K. I’m not sure though if tataas ung price because of the new OS. :)
@tina: all mac come with ilife. the only other apps you may need is iWork for Keybote and Pages as well as Microsoft Office for the Macintosh.
I see. Haha I’m just concerned about the other software I want. Like Photoshop and Office, and yes, even Windows XP. :D I’m not ready to let go of Windows just yet, since I use it at work. I’m getting iffy with pirated stuff kasi, I figured if I’m going to get software, better make it original na diba. :D

Hi miss Riz, just wanted to know how much did you get your macbook?
Sori I forgot how did I end up into your blog. I was just surfing the Internet and wanted to know more about macbook especially the price of it, tapos eto.. and2 na ko :)
naghahanap po kc ako ng murang bilihan ng macbook.. mura? macbook?… hehe basta un :)
Im planning to get the macbook white C2D 2.0ghz kc ung black sobrang expensive pero same lang naman yung specs nila.The only difference is that the blackbook has a higher capacity of Hard Disk. Bibili na lng ako ng crystal case na black.
My friend and I are planning to make the switch, did you say you got it for 62k only? How do we contact your dealer? TNX
